Etc. are changed as if they are rotated all at once. Then, after a few seconds, the fluctuation stops sequentially, and when the symbols are aligned with a certain probability like “777”, “☆☆☆”, etc., a jackpot is won, and the electric opening / closing large winning opening 7
The opening / closing door 9 is opened by the operation of the solenoid 14 so that a hit ball flowing down on the game board 2 can be extremely easily entered into the electric opening / closing big winning opening 7. A continuous winning opening (referred to as a V zone) 10 is further provided in the electric opening and closing winning prize 7, and a part of the hit ball entering the electric opening and closing winning prize 7 is the continuous winning opening 10. When entering, the ball is actuated by the ball sensor 15 to be electronically stored in the game control board 12.

The hit ball entering the motorized opening and closing winning prize opening 7 is detected by the ball sensor 24, and when 10 winning balls enter or 30 seconds elapse, the solenoid opening and closing of the electric opening and closing winning prize opening 7 is temporarily performed. However, if it is memorized that the ball has been hit in the continuous winning opening 10 as described above, the electric opening / closing large winning opening 7 is opened again immediately thereafter, so that it is easy to continuously hit the electric opening / closing large winning opening 7. I do. Thereafter, similarly, on condition that a hit ball wins in the continuous winning opening 10, the electric opening / closing large winning opening 7 is continuously opened and closed until the maximum number of continuous opening and closing times reaches 16 times.

As shown, the game control board 12 has a read-only memory (ROM) in which game contents are stored, a microprocessor for executing the same, and an input / output device (I / O).
O). The display control board 16 receives a command from the game control board 12 and activates a video display processor (VDP) 17 and a sound source (SOUND IC) 18 such as an FM sound source and a PCM sound source.
9, a read-only memory (ROM) 20 for storing image files detachably connected to the video display processor 17, a read-only memory (ROM) 21 for storing sound files detachably connected to the sound source 18,
And an amplifier 2 for amplifying the audio output of the sound source 18 and driving a speaker 22 provided on the front of the pachinko gaming machine 1
Consists of three.

The read-only memory 20 connected to the video display processor 17 stores lyrics such as hit songs and image files such as a background image or a figure of the singer. The read-only memory 21 connected to the sound source 18 has M accompaniment and singing of the hit music.
Sound files such as IDI data, WAVE data, and PCM data are stored. The operation button 25 is connected to the sub CPU 19.

In this pachinko game machine, the player can operate the hit ball firing operation handle 3 to fire the hit ball onto the game board 2 and play the game as usual. Then, a variation symbol is displayed on the electronic display 8 in response to a command from the sub CPU 19, and the sound effect during the normal game is uttered from the speaker 22.

When the player operates the operation button 25, the video display processor 17 reads a predetermined image file from the read-only memory 20, and the sound source 18 reads a predetermined sound file from the read-only memory 21. The image is displayed on the display 8 in synchronization with the sound output from the sound source 18. FIG. 3 shows an example of a display image on the electronic display 8. As shown in FIG. 4, this display image has a structure in which a game information plane, a symbol plane, a singer image plane, and a lyrics plane are displayed as if a transparent sheet is overlaid on a background plane. Displays a background image such as "mountain, clouds" shown in FIG. 3, a symbol plane displays a fluctuating pattern such as numbers and symbols, and a singer image plane displays a moving image of a specific singer character or the like. The lyrics are displayed on the lyrics plane as the song progresses. Further, the accompaniment is output from the sound source 18 to the speaker 22 through the amplifier 23 in accordance with the read sound file. Therefore, the speaker 22
The player can sing along with the accompaniment played from the song.

A headphone jack (not shown) is provided on the front of the pachinko gaming machine 1 so that the accompaniment can be easily heard and the player can hear his or her own singing voice combined with the accompaniment. Headphones and the like may be lent to the player, so that full-scale karaoke can be enjoyed while playing the game.

It is preferable that a plurality of types of image files and sound files are stored in the read-only memories 20 and 21 in accordance with the music number so that the music can be selected according to the preference of the player. It is also possible to always correspond to a new hit song by exchanging the read-only memories 20 and 21.

When one song ends, the timer returns to the normal game state, and the speaker 22 emits a sound effect. Therefore, the player operates the operation button 25 again when karaoke is continued. Also,
By operating the operation button 25 in the middle of the music, the performance is interrupted and the normal game state is returned.

In this way, the player can enjoy pachinko and karaoke at the same time.
When the variable symbol displayed in the game information plane is in a big hit state with a predetermined symbol such as "777" at a predetermined probability, the number of consecutive opening / closing of the electric opening / closing large winning opening 7 in the game information plane shown in FIG. The game information such as the number of rounds and the number of winnings (the number of counts) is displayed, and the electronic display 8 switches to an image as shown in FIG. For this reason, even if a jackpot suddenly occurs during karaoke, the player can see such information as before and calmly deal with the jackpot, and can obtain many prize balls at a time.

If a big hit occurs during the karaoke play, the karaoke is temporarily stopped, a demo image of the big win celebration is displayed on the electronic display 8, and a sound effect of the victory is uttered on the speaker 22. You may do so.
